Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Matthew Lillard star as Top Gun–ish fighter pilots intent on saving the Earth from the evil Kilrathi. Bad makeup and substandard effects explode into intergalactic disappointment—or maybe it's just that I'm not a prepubescent boy. Wing Commander is what happens when a video game gets transposed to the big screen. It isn't pretty.
